106 sunroof drains
Can anyone tell me exactly where the sunroof drains on a 94' 106 lead out to? My drivers side sill fills with water when it rains and I have proved it's the sunroof drain by pouring water down the drain tube at the sunroof end, I have tried to clear it using insulated wire but it does'nt seem to get right to the bottom. Other posts on this subject indicate that the drains are behind the wheel arch trim. I have removed the trim but still can't see the drains! Any advice on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the forum Z9
I can't say for sure on a 106 but if they're like the 205 then the drains will exit high up the "A" pillers behind the arch liners. You're maybe looking too low down. Also, thay may not be directly behind the arch-liners but on the narrow part where the rear of the outer wing joins the inner wing virtually in the door-shut.
I find compressed air is the best way to clear them. They usually block due to moss and other much fouling their outlets.
If you are still searching in vain in a day or two, come back and I'll take a look at a neighbours Saxo of similar vintage. I'll guess they will be in the same place.
The drain tube may also have detatched itself from the sunroof at the top. Where do you see water dripping down from?
